∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Poe Studies / Dark Romanticism (founded as Poe Newsletter in 1968, and issued as Poe Studies 1971-1985) is
published by the Washington State University Press and produced with the aid of the Humanities Research Center and the support of the
College of Liberal Arts and the Department of English at Washington State University. The Edgar Allan Poe Society of Baltimore is
grateful to the publishers for permission to make available e-text versions of articles printed in selected volumes of this journal.
It should be noted that information and views expressed in these articles reflect the research and opinions of the authors. Anyone who
finds these articles of interest is encouraged to subscribe to Poe
Studies / Dark Romanticism.

The following note on the change of name for the journal appears in volume IV, p. 11, column 2:

“A number of readers and contributors have suggested that the title Poe Newsletter does not adequately describe the
scope and contents of the journal, with this number Poe Newsletter becomes Poe Studies. Many of the
‘newsletter’ features will continue, however. The column ‘Current Poe Studies’ (wherein research in progress,
symposia, new publications, meetings, and other miscellaneous data are recorded) and progress reports on such projects as the Dameron
Complete Bibliography and the Mabbott Collected Works will appear from time to time. The annotated bibliography, of
course, will continue — as will the ‘Fugitive’ bibliography so long as research assistance is available. The short
notes and comment of the ‘Marginalia’ column will continue. There will be little change of format, size, or rate of issue,
though we expect to be able to accommodate somewhat longer articles. Coincidentally, however, a small increase in cost (planned before
the title change) is necessary, despite a handsome subsidy from Washington State University.”
